Welcome

Welcome to the Advocates' tour to Ethiopia website.

Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Ethiopia from the 20th to the 31st of May 2009 to see the work of Compassion.Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Ethiopia and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

All packed...

Packed at last! As others have said before me it's been very hard trying to fit everything in, my luggage is overweight too so let's hope and pray that we have an understanding check-in person!

One plus is that I have learned to pack my personal bits in a minimalist way - a capsule wardrobe - let's just see how that works out...I'm not convinced!

Am very excited, looking forward to meeting my fellow travellers, the children, young people and staff and to discovering what God is going to reveal. Just hoping I don't spend the whole time weeping!

OK...next blog from Ethiopia!
